On April 26, 1564, in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, William, son of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, was baptized. His actual birth date isn’t known for sure, but it is usually assumed that he was born on the 23 of April, and that is the date that is traditionally celebrated. It is also possible he was born on the 21 or 22. In 1616, this time definitely on the 23 of April, Shakespeare died and was buried two days later in the same church where he had been baptized 52 years before.
